Delicious Pata Tim Recipe -  Pata tim is a popular pork leg Filipino dish which is very similar to the paksiw na pata but does not have vinegar. This dish is basically boiled pork leg with a blend of soy sauce, oyster sauce, pineapple juice and spices like garlic, star anise and cinnamon and with vegetables like mushrooms and bok choy. What makes this dish appetizing aside from it’s flavor is the very tender meat and the skin with gelatin like texture and thick sauce.
